The 33-year-old Argentine striker wants the lawyers representing him to be present at the meeting, which will focus on a peaceful divorce agreement, as the player hopes. It is a small beauty flaw that the Spanish press knows that Barcelona does not want to sit at a negotiating table, because at the club they think about extremes: they are only willing to negotiate an extension, in the rest of the cases they refuse to discuss.

As is known, Messi submitted an exit request to the management of FC Barcelona earlier this week, informing the leaders of the Catalan club that he would unilaterally terminate his contract, which is agreed at the end of each season. In theory, this should have been signaled by the presidency before June 1, but the coronavirus epidemic and the period of postponement until October have created a new situation. The Catalans, of course, do not want to let go of their biggest star, but if the divorce occurs, the management will insist that Messi’s future team pay the price of the 700 million euro termination.

Of course, there is no shortage of interested parties, Sky Sports says that Manchester City has the best chances to bid for Argentina, and Pep Guardiola and Sergio Agüero are also in favor of the English band. In addition to the Manchester United, PSG, Inter and Juventus are the most mentioned among the applicants.
